What to wear to a wedding?
A wedding calls for a festive, elegant outfit that lasts all day: ceremony, photos, dinner and party. The goal: dress for the occasion without ever upstaging the bride.
The right moves
- Pick a soft or bold colour rather than white: pastels, terracotta, sage green, midnight blue.
- Think of both parts of the day: a jacket or wrap for the ceremony that comes off in the evening.
- Choose shoes you can stand and dance in: block heels, low-heeled sandals.
- One statement piece is enough: a flowing dress, a coloured suit or a midi skirt, with the rest kept simple.
To avoid
- White, ivory and very pale beige, reserved for the bride.
- All-black in the daytime, often seen as too severe.
